Electromechanical Performance and Stability of Flexible Energy‐Harvesting CeO2/Polyvinylidene Fluoride Piezoelectric Nanogenerators With Zn Doping

open access: yesRare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) matrices with embedded nanostructured fillers are extensively used in piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs) for harvesting mechanical energy. In this study, we synthesized well‐defined zinc‐doped cerium oxide (Znx‐CeO2) nanocubes via hydrothermal process and deposited flexible Zn‐CeO2/PVDF films via supersonic ...

Cell Culture Substrate Variation Alters Extracellular Vesicle Biogenesis Without Affecting Non‐Coding Repeat RNA Profile

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Cell culture biomechanical conditions influence extracellular vesicles (EVs) production in patient‐derived pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cell lines. When grown in 3D conformation and in hydrogels with lower elasticity (0.5kPA), PDAC cells produce higher numbers of EVs, compared with cells grown in 2D on classic cell culture plastic.

Electrospun PAN Membrane Loaded with AgInP2Se6 Nanosheets for Triboelectric Energy Harvesting

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Exfoliated AgInP2Se6 nanosheets are incorporated into a polyacrylonitrile (PAN) polymer matrix by electrospinning and applied for the first time in a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG). The hybrid membrane delivers strong electrical output and exhibits reversible humidity sensitivity, responding rapidly to changes in relative humidity.

Cabomba caroliniana and Schoenoplectus californicus as Antifouling Candidates: Anti‐Attachment and Toxicological Effects in Aurelia coerulea (Cnidaria, Scyphozoa)

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biofouling on artificial surfaces in aquatic ecosystems leads to significant economic losses. Current antifouling paints, while effective, often harm the aquatic environment. This study explores ecologically safe antifouling alternatives derived from plants, focusing on the aquatic macrophytes Cabomba caroliniana (CC) and Schoenoplectus ...
